Nat Geo Greater Yellowstone Eco System Elk
So when is the "park" going to thin the buffalo herd?? Maybe if there were fewer buff the park could hold more elk?? Buffalo are an ok animal but I was in the park 3 years ago and the place was crawling with them. -

Extra rifle
I always do. Two years ago I slipped and fell, rifle went down hard and ruined the scope. But we were done hunting. It could have just as easily been the first day though -

Hand Held GPS or Cell Phone
I had better use of my Garmin last season. But the ONx has changed and added stuff. I did find that my garmin gps was way more accurate in finding trails, yes I do have a state map chip in it. My hunting partner almost got lost using his phone in the fog, still not sure why. And I did get turned... -

"InReach" question
You can download a map to your phone, a good color one. Plus a topo map. You use your ONx just like a GPS. But you must pick the size of the map area you want and download to your phone. Then you can see it without cell reception. So its best to download the map you want while using wifi or... -

Dismal morning at the range......need help!
I had the same thing happen. when I went to put a different scope on it I discovered the mounting base screws were loose. Even though I wiggled the scope and thought it was tight it was not. Re tightened the base, all is good. I always use lock tight but they came loose anyway, never had that... -

Bringing the head home?
I have not done this but have heard it works. Find a car wash with a wand, go in and it acts just like a pressure washer. Although I sure its a dirty messy job. Wash the skull down with it. -

Bringing the head home?
Cape the hide off the skull. Then in most states all the meat must be removed from the skull, ALL of it. Even then you need to check the regulations of every state you will be driving thru or risk loosing it all plus a fine -

Proof Research Rifles
I also know a guy who has his own lathe and does some barrel work. He uses Brux barrels on most of his stuff. He always bore scopes them before working on them. He got one and he said it looked terrible. He called Brux and they said try it and if it does not shoot we will replace it. It's one of... -

Proof Research Rifles
I bought a proof pre-fit barrel and put on a savage that didn't shoot. Was very easy to find a load for ( I reload all my rifles). I will shoot .50 groups easy and I have shot my best group (at 100 yards) with it. I sure will not hesitate to put another one on one of my rifles. The only thing it... -

Cooler talk
Been using Coleman Extremes for the last 5-6 years. Never been disappointed by them. 2 70 quarts coolers just fit perfectly in front of my wheel wells. Added a 150 quart this year. That one if full is a bear to handle but I have more tags to fill on one trip. I freeze 1/2 gallon milk jugs. Also... -

X bolt pro issues
I had a stainless stalker x bolt in a 7mm Remington mag. After many many rounds of ammo the it if finally came to the conclusion it was not a shooter at all. Got rid of it. -

Kenetrek Mountain Extremes?
I agree with sneakypete, a good sock combo is a must. And the last couple pair of Kenetrek's I put their boot waterproofer on right away. It seemed to help and hardly any break in time was needed. Just go for a 2 mile walk in them to start, them work it up to 4 miles. You will know if they are ok. -

home made archery targets
I made my own this spring, a 42 x 42 inch x16 inch deep. I had some old plastic laying around plus some old plastic cheap tarps that I no longer used. Didn't have enough so went to menards and bought some 4 mill plastic in rolls to finish. I might have 80 dollars into it. I shoot victory... -

Cargo trailer feedback needed
Why is a single a nightmare waiting to happen?? I pull my fish house out west, single axle, I just make sure to have really good tires and 2 spares. Need to only check 1 set of wheel bearings instead of 2:) -

Boots
Kenetreks uncomfortable while walking flatter more rolling terrain??? Thats a new one. I hunt both steep and flatter country, never ever had an issue. My hunting partner has both Danner and Kenetrek, and he says there is a huge difference in traction and stability between the two, he prefers the... -

When is 'old' too old?
will be 61 this season. Last year I killed my first bull, was 6 miles back in, it was a long day with my partner getting it out. He's only 35, which helps me out a lot. I'm still recovering from that, bad back and something going on in my neck. If I draw a tag for that state thats probably the... -

Anyone have experience with Christiansen Arms Rifles?
Its a hunting rifle and while I'm hunting I am always ready, in dark timber you need to be. To me the safety lever is whats at fault. It works or moves much to easily. Hunt how you want, there will always be a round in the chamber except in this rifle, unless I can get the issue fixed -

Cooler Set Up for Elk
I can put 2 70 quart Coleman extremes side by side right behind the cab of my f150---6 1/2 foot bed however. Its a tight fit but it is a perfect fit. My partner put a small bull boned out into a 150 quart Coleman extreme with frozen 1/2 gallon milk jugs in the bottom, one layer. A bigger bull...
